World Kidney Cancer Day is celebrated around the world every year on the third Thursday of June by patients, carers, healthcare professionals and local organisations. Since it was established in 2017, it is a day dedicated to raising awareness of the local and global impact of kidney cancer, educating people about the disease, and making a difference in the lives of people affected by kidney cancer.
The next World Kidney Cancer Day will be on Thursday 19th June 2025.
2024 World Kidney Cancer Day
World Kidney Cancer Day launched on Thursday 20th June 2024 with the theme: We need to listen. The campaign focused on helping patients and healthcare professionals have better and more meaningful conversations.
Listening can play an important role in cancer care and treatment. This campaign highlighted the role of listening in shared decision-making, empowered patients to seek a second opinion if they don’t feel listened to, and created awareness about misinformation and finding credible information.
